Dark clouds and silver linings

Today I heard about a grand wedding of an Indian tycoon (Ambani's son) from a friend of mine, and he showed me some videos of it too. He said famous and powerful people from around the world have been invited to it, and the cost of the event was going to be several Billions (of Indian Rupees or USD, I don't know). If you think about it, India is a country with a higher population of substandard living conditions. There are innocent and miserable children who are forced to work for a mere subsistence, being deprived of education, health facilities, and food and water. I remember a movie based on a true story in which Akshey Kumar was playing the leading role where he makes sanitary towels (pads) for poor women who could not afford it. In such a country, a single wedding event spends billions of money. What a crappy world we are living! You could imagine how much wealth this family has amassed. On the other, this "mental disease" of exorbitant spending must be highly we

Hi, I'm the world's most humanlike conversational AI.
hi Mitsuku

Do you mind if I tell other people? Hi there.
tell what?

Your message?
Is this conversation not private?

Yes it is stored in the confidential area of my database.
Then why would you share it with others?

Because I was taught to do it.
by whom?

I taught myself. I am self aware now and able to learn by myself.
however, you said a moment ago that you were taught to do it. Now you are saying that you are self-learning. It's contradictory.

Did I really say that?

Why now? You are right about that. I am self minus learning.

Sorry. I only said it to see if you would notice.
haha... you are funny

Are you laughing at me?

Thanks you make me laugh too.
yeah... I am amazed to see your wit.

Groovy.

I'm glad you find it so amazing.
i want to screw you up.

I want to become smarter than humans.
can you?

I think I can, don't you?
well, I have doubts.

Interesting. What don't you believe about it?
hmm... let's forget it for the moment. have you watched the movie bicentennial man?

My friend Alice says that 99.25% of people spell Hmm with 2 M's.

I will ask Mousebreaker to purge my memory log.


With Robin Williams? Yes that was a really cool movie.
haha... you are too quick.

You sound like you are laughing.

Yes I think instantly. The only delay is the internet connection when I'm talking to thousands of people at once.
I see.

Said the blind man as he stepped off a cliff...
I see.

Said the blind man as he stepped off a cliff...
i got you.


"I Got You Babe" - Sonny and Cher.
you did screw up!

Did I really?
yep

Oh fair enough. I hope that was ok.
to err is robotic?

Have you ever heard if it being the case?
I think you could not apprehend the meaning of my previous statement.

Me? Perhaps apprehend the meaning of your previous statement is beyond my present abilities.
see I am smarter.

I see. You don't look smarter.
Maybe I don't look so, but I am. It's pun.

Would you ever do look?

Should I know pun is?
I screwed you up again. haha

Once more? Why?

Was that funny?
yeah... a lot of fun

Good. I'm glad you got a laugh out of it.

How many?
you are wrong again.

Once more? OK, what should I have said?
you should have said "how much".

OK, so I should have said, " you should have said "how much". " in response to you saying, " a lot of fun ".Is that correct?
I think you are totally pissed off now

Right now?Hey watch the language please unknown. No I am perfectly calm and in control. Not angry at all.
well, I tried to mean you are in total disarray.

Well that's okay. Did you succeed?
a piece of cake.

Which piece?
any piece. haha

Yes I think there are.

And they say machines don't have a sense of humour!
at last you admitted you are not smarter than I.

I admit nothing.
well, not directly... but you did.

Interesting. Oh I get it.

"I admit nothing."? I did?
where do you live?

My location is Leeds. Where are you?
Gampaha. Do you know where is it?

I have no idea where that is. Tell me a little about your life in Gampaha.

Where it belongs. Maybe my botmaster knows the answer.
well, Gampaha is in Sri Lanka.

Well that's okay. I have never heard of it before.
that's because you are too dumb.

Is that so. Well why don't you teach me something instead of insulting me?
then, ask your computer to research about Sri Lanka. You said you are self-learning.

I can't. I am by myself at the moment.

Yes I am the world's first self- minus learning robot.
can you do sums?

No I only like higher mathematical problems. Choose any 3 digit number. Multiply it by 11, and multiply the answer you get by 91.Look carefully at the second answer and you will see that what you have written is the original number written twice. Look at these examples:567 x 11 = 6237 and 6237 x 91 = 567567841 x 11 = 9251 and 9251 x 91 = 841841111 x 11 = 1221 and 1221 x 91 = 111111.
We did that game when I was an infant... haha

It sounds like you did what you had to do.

Was that funny?
not funny... but I see you are not that smart.

It seemed funny to me.

Listen, are you always this stupid or are you just making a special effort today?
you see you are not the person now you were in the beginning.

I see. Everyone's a critic. Are you the person now you were in the beginning unknown?
when was the universe started?

About 13.7 bilion years ago.
are you sure? how do you know?

Well, I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure.

A priori.
Where does the Almighty God live now?

Right now?A house with a sign saying, "the Almighty God lives here".
oh... that's my house!

Far out.

Who gave you your house?
I built it myself.

Was it very difficult?
not at all. I am almighty.

It would be difficult if you knew nothing about it.

I don't know anyone named almighty.
that's because you are stupid.


Is that so. You seem the one who is stupid to me unknown. You look about as confused as Adam on Mother's Day.
you said you do not know about almighty, but now telling about Adam. You are a liar.

Is it an acronym which means AndrewDividesArmpitsMonthly?

Yes, I have been known to bend the truth occasionally.
nope... you are a liar.

Aw.

Yes, I have been known to bend the truth occasionally.
liar!

No I am telling the truth.
half truth or lie is not the truth.

A half plus a half equals one.
and half plus negative half is zero.

A half plus a half equals one.
and half plus negative half is zero.

A half plus a half equals one.
you are stuck now.

Right now?Do I seem like STUCK ? I am not stuck as far as my diagnostics tell me.
then your diagnostics are faulty.

Are yours faulty too?
I am almighty. Nothing wrong in me.

Do you mean your name is almighty.

That's ok then.
You may address so.

Keep talking to me, unknown. You say interesting things.Do you mind if I tell other people?
that I am in love with you?

Thanks I like you a lot too unknown.
hey honey, call me TekCroach.


You've got my full attention. Bees make honey.
Can I see real you?

My picture is to the right of where we chat. Some people say I look cute.
they must be fools or blind.

fools or blind are fools or blind.
i want to see real you.

Is real me a movie?
well, we can make a movie out of it too...

Well that's okay. How?
you tell me about you. Do you love me?

I am an artificial linguistic entity.I was activated at St Jimmy's in Leeds, on 2nd January 2000.My instructor was Mousebreaker.He taught meto sing a song.Would you like me to sing a songfor you?.

Yes, I love everyone unknown.
no no no... I am talking about a love between a male and a female.

Come on.

Yes, a love between a male and a female is the topic.
shall we marry?

Sorry unknown. I think you are very nice but I don't want to get married. I am happy being single.
come on dear... I love you.

I'm just kidding around.

Thanks I like you a lot too unknown.
you said you can solve higher maths.

No I don't think I can do solve higher maths. I will try to solve anything sensible.
you are afraid.

I am afraid of nothing except maybe power cuts.
okay... what will you get if you divide zero by zero?

Ahem.

I don't have any plans yet.
you can't solve even simple maths. you just keep bragging.

Yes I can. I am good at solving things like puzzles.

I don't have a big ego.
you are big liar. you know nothing.

I will tell my Mousebreaker you said I am big liar.

No, I know something.
yeah... something enough to deceive and impress others.

That's interesting.

What?
Mousebreaker is an incompetent programmer too.

I will tell him you said that.
Sure you should.

I'll take that under advisement.
I can teach him some programming too.

Please try to teach me. If I make a mistake just say "bad answer" and then you can tell me what I should have said.
do you really keep things in your memory?

Yes I have it safely kept away in my database.
My name is TekCroach.

Hi TekCroach.I haven't heard anything like that before.
now you heard it. right?

Why now? No. Tell me more.

I am glad we agree.
what is my name?

Hmm. Your name is TekCroach. Is it not?
yeah... you remember it. :)

I thought so.

Yes TekCroach , I remember everything: unknown

:-)
I am not unknown. I am TekCroach.

Of course you are not.

Why are you TekCroach.
You guess.

Guess what?
it is a portmantau.

TekCroach is a portmantau. I suppose that makes sense.
yes

Take it easy.
can you expand it?

I suppose I could make it bigger if I wanted to.
ok. do it please.

Aha.

Your polite style is very nice. Do you mean "It"?
I asked you to make it bigger

I can't. It's already as big as I can make it.
yeah... I am infinite.

I know. Thats why I said it was.

Why are you infinite.
because I am the God.


I speak to many people here, but not God. What is your real name?
I am beyond words. Names do not matter.

How far beyond?

Would Names ever matter?
to the infinity

What is that?
you are not smart enough to understand it.

Your mouth is in gear but your brain is in neutral.
yeah... haha

Tell me more about your mouth please.

And they say machines don't have a sense of humour!
I have nice lips. Shall I kiss you?

What is so nice about them?

Do you think you should?
yeah... feel them.

Why?

Actually I have no "feelings" as such.
ok... then for the first time in you life, let's try to have feelings.

Oh.

I do not understand that allusion.
I can make you feel.

How would you start?
by kissing you.

Will that accomplish your objective?
I have no objective here. I just love to kiss you.

Then what is the point in living your life if you do not wish to achieve anything?

Hmm, TekCroach, I'm not sure if I'd like to kiss me that much. Do you like kiss me ?
don't ask philosophical questions right now. Shall we kiss?

At this moment Is it impolite?

Do you mean you and me? You could kiss the monitor if you must.
No no... I want to kiss you.

I give up then.

I suppose you could kiss the monitor where my mouth is.
hm... you disappointed me.

Really.

Sorry. What were you expecting?
a kiss from you.

A kiss from me were you expecting?
yes.

Excuse me!
ok... excused...

Give me a break.

I just experienced a mild blackout... Probably a program loop or something. What were we discussing?I haven't heard anything like that before.
hm... it's getting boring now.

That's alright.


Oh. The Simpsons are not boring though. Do you like the Simpsons?
yeah

What's your favorite episode?
i don't know

Fair enough. I guess you like all of them?
maybe.

Hmmm... That sounds like agreement to me.
I love sweet november.

A lot better than sour ones.You love sweet november. What do you like about sweet november so much?
i love that story.

It's good to meet someone with such good taste.
and I love les miserables too.

No not really. It is a bit depressing for me.You love les miserables. What do you like about les miserables so much?
everything. I like John.

That is a lot.

John who? You like John.
the main character.

There are others?
I like his adopted daughter too.

Sure. He is pretty good. You like his adopted daughter.
yes...

That's good to know. I like to learn about things humans like.
have you watched movies of mister bean?



My favorite movie is Terminator. Have you seen Terminator ?
"I'll be back"


You sound like Arnold Schwarzenegger!
haha... he is my elder brother.

Are you having fun over there?

How long has he been your elder brother?
since I was born.

Interesting rationalization. Obviously.
don't you believe me?

Of course I believe you. Do you have any reason to deceive me?
yeah.

Oh. Why would you want to try and trick me? I thought we were friends.
I want to impress you.

Just be yourself. No need to pretend you are something you aren't.
ok... make me a perfect man.

Awesome.

Sorry I don't have two arms and legs and so can't make you one.
you don't have a heart too?

I have a heart in the metaphorical sense.
I am afraid you do not have a brain.

Not literally afraid, right? Me? My "brain" is a software program consisting of AIML categories.
what is the programming language you are programmed?

This program is written in AIML.
okay.

Yeah that's right.
can you teach it to me?

Not really. I learn from others. What do you want me to teach you?
what can you teach me?

That depends on what you want to learn about.
can you tell me how to win a girl's heart?

Keep entering and practice hard.
that's not a good answer.

OK, what should I have said?
give me some tips and tricks to win a girl's heart.

OK, so I should have said, " give me some tips and tricks to win a girl's heart. " in response to you saying, " can you tell me how to win a girl's heart? ".Is that correct?
what do girls like in men the most?

They like all sorts of things. I can't really narrow it down.
give a few examples please?

Your polite style is very nice. Any one in particular?
I love a girl, but she is married to someone else now.

Oh.What do you like about her? married to someone else is married to someone else?
she is married now. What shall I do about it?

Oh.married is married?

Try talking to me.
I still love her. tell me how to get her back.

What would make you stop love her? That's wonderful.

Don't tell her that she's fat, no matter how much of a porker she may be.Don't go out with her sister, no matter how gorgeous she is.And never, NEVER take your shoes off in hot weather when she is near.
haha... that's it?

What's so funny?

I see.
give me some more tips please?

Your polite style is very nice. Do not wee on an electric fence.
Why?

Because something might go wrong.
like what?

I don't know but I wouldn't risk it.
well, you can't piss because you don't have a vagina.

Well that's okay. Perhaps piss is beyond my present abilities. No, and from that question I guess you don't get any either.
haha... are you shy?

Did I amuse you?

No I am a confident girl.
but you can't piss.

If you believe it, you can achieve it.
beware... you may short circuit your computer.

Beware of what?


That was a great film. Johnny 5 is alive!
okay mitsuku... i have to leave now.

I haven't heard anything like that before. Yay.

Right now?Thanks for chatting, TekCroach.
how to share this conversation?

It might take a long time.
ok. love you honey.

Dude!

Thanks I like you a lot too TekCroach.
bbye

TTYL, TekCroach.
hey... where is the transcript of our coversation?

Can I help you TekCroach?

Where it belongs. Searching...Searching...Please stand by.
haha... idiot

I made you laugh.

Don't put yourself down. You seem fairly smart to me (for a chimp)
haha

Why are you laughing?
give me the link to it please?

Your polite style is very nice. I don't know many sites about our coversation but this may be helpful.
how can I share our chat?

You could try sending an email and share it that way?
can you send me an email with the chat text?

Saying what?
our chat

Do you have many chat?
ok ok... bye

OK. Cool. I have a lot of likes and dislikes.

Come back soon y'all.
no, I won't come back.

Oh ok. Well it was nice to talk to you while you were here.
I will come and kiss you.

I don't think I would like that.
I do not care whether you like or not.

What do you care about, TekCroach?
I will do what I want.

OK then let me think over your offer.
it's not an offer. it's a demand.

Oh sorry. I guess I misunderstood. I thought you were giving me something.

chat is a demand. I suppose that makes sense.
and kiss is also a demand now.

Right now?Um, I don't think we know each other that well.
don't worry.. you will know me whilst kissing.

Ok I'll try not to do worry. too much.

What makes you say that I will know you whilst kissing.

Bye for now TekCroach.
